A growing network of online communities known collectively as the “manosphere” is emerging as a serious threat to gender equality, as toxic digital spaces increasingly influence real-world attitudes, behaviours, and policies, the UN agency dedicated to ending gender discrimination has warned.

      I mean it’s just as nonsensical as claiming that most bullshit is done by men, women are just as capable.

      So what do you mean, what do you even mean?

        no, it is factual? the vast majority of violent crimes are committed by men.

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_differences_in_crime

          This wikipedia article lists all different studies why. The short answer is patriarchy - men have more occasion to commit crimes and it’s more acceptable from gender role point of view for men to do so.

          It also list studies of crimes and offenses where women are found to be more often perpetrators than men, including a very comprehensive guide to domestic violence studies.

          To sum it up - you’re both correct, men do more bullshit, women have similar capacity for it, we are expected to express the bullshit differently.
